Rabbit polyclonal antibody to MMP-13The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of peptidase enzymes responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix components, including collagen, gelatin, fibronectin, laminin and proteoglycan. Transcription of MMP genes is differentially activated by phorbol ester, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). MMP catalysis requires both calcium and zinc. MMP-13 (also designated collagenase-3) is produced by breast carcinomas and degrades collagen type I, II, III.

Tested Applications
IHCIPWB
Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml), immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry (works with paraffin imbedded sections). However, the optimal concentrations should be determined individually. The antibody recognizes the proenzyme (~60 kDa) and the cleaved fragments (34 kDa and 48 kDa) of MMP-13. Reactivity to other species has not been tested.:
